Bus Rush Fever! Level 196 Walkthrough

Bus Rush Fever! Level 196 is a sparse one-direction board with a long rainbow spine and only a few anchors holding it in place. Clear the anchors first, then feed the spine in a single direction without splitting it.

Board Notes

Layout: Level 196 opens with a long rainbow spine dropping down one side and only a few anchor pieces holding the opposite side in place.
Goal: The real target is the direction of the spine. It has to keep moving one way so the open floor never gets cluttered by two unfinished halves.
Opening: The walkthrough clears the small anchor pieces first, then feeds the spine in the same order it already shows instead of breaking it in the middle.
Danger Zone: The board only jams when the spine is split into two sections and both halves start competing for the same empty slot.
Mechanics: Level 196 is a one-direction board. The challenge is discipline, not crowding.
